Matt is a 23 year old male athlete training for a marathon. He is also trying to lose weight. His height is 5’11”, weight is 235 lbs., usual weight is 252 lbs. He is currently doing a “low-carb” diet that his trainer recommended to lose weight. He finds himself tired after long runs and struggling to achieve his training goals.
Men: BEE = 66.5 + (13.8 x wt./kg.) + (5x ht./cm) – (6.8 x age/yr.)

A. Matt’s IBW
There are two formulas to calculate the Ideal Body Weight
1.IBW (lb)=106+6x(Ht-60inches)
=106+6x(71-60) 5'11"=5x12+11=60+11=71inches
=106+6x11
=106+66=172lb
2.IBW(Kg)=50+2.3Kgx(Ht-60inches) (DEVINE EQUATION)
=50+2.3x(71-60)
=50+2.3x11=50+25.3=75.3Kg
The formula to calculate the percentage of IBW is WEIGHTX100IBW
HERE THE IBW IS IN Kg so the weight also should convert to Kg
here his weight is 235lb .The equation to convert pounds to Kg is lb x 0.45
so here it is 235 x 0.45 =105.75
when we put this value in the equation
%IBW = 105.75X 100/75.3
= 140.43
B.The formula to calculate the %UBW is current body weight / usual body weight x 100
Here the cuirrent body weight is 235 lbs
Usual body weight is 252lbs when we put this into the equation
%UBW = 235/252 X100 = 93.25%
C. The formula to calculate BMI is 703 x weight
(lbs) / [height (in)]2
= 703 x 235lbs /( 71)2
=703 x 235 / 5041= 32.77
D. The protein intake = weight in Kg x protein requirment per Kg
Here an athlete needs protein requirment of 1.2 to 2 grams,since he is on training period we can take the high end of the range. To calculate the weight in Kg devide the weight in lbs by 2.2
so te weight in Kg is 235/2.2 = 106.81
The protein requirment is 106.81 x 2 = 213.63 g/ day
E.Harris benedict equation is BEEMales = 66.5 + (13.75 * Weight) + (5.003 * Height) - (6.775 * Age)
